At first I was outrage by this: forældrekompetenceundersøgelse. Then I read this sentence: "The municipality told her she was “not Greenlandic enough” for the new law banning the tests to apply, despite her being born in Greenland of Greenlandic parents."

This is disgusting.

I can also see how such 'tests' can be used as a political tool to take away children from people who hold beliefs that the current barons don't like.

How about just giving everyone education on how to parent a child?

They...took her baby... because her own dad who is in prison abused her as a child.

What the absolute fuck.

Well, in their defense, the Danish are cunts... Oh, wait, that doesn't help...

The “parenting competence” tests, known as FKU

Fuck you seems like an appropriate name for such a grotesque thing.

What was that about the nordic countries being the model for us to follow?

Aah, parenting competence tests. The thing that SOUNDS like a good idea until you think about it for more than two seconds.

The eugenics must flow

Denmark has a long and horrifying history of this, and it’s overwhelmingly used against indigenous people.

Hmm I’m no ethics expert but I think you have to give that baby back Greenland. When this kind of thing happens I always try and fail to get in the mindset of the people who led to it. Someone flagged the case, discussed it with people, someone rubber stamped it.

And we here in Canada still ashamed of residential schools. You'd think other countries would have learned.
